I've seen berdian primers around.  I think at some of the gun shows, or
perhaps a specialty shop.  Either way, that's what I'd reload it with.
Having said that, I must confess I've never done it, so there may well
be problems I'm not aware of too.
I have also heard that you can drill out the hole of a berdian primed
case using the firing pin punched primer as a drill guide.  Supposedly,
the large size of the primer hole didn't affect accuracy.  That info was
gleamed from the ABC's of Reloading.  Someday, I may try that, but I
have my suspicions about accuracy and consistentcy with the above.
